Where to Live.
There aren't that many places to live in Vatican City.
After checking all the buildings through Google Earth I couldn't find anything.
Then I googled it and got nothing again.
I do know that the Pope and his nuns and guards live there but other than that,
I don't see any way that you can have real shelter. You could live in the park but the guards might kick you out.

Can you live in Vatican City you may never know.
